Description

We open our space the first Tuesday night of each month for you to join forces with other social impact movers and shakers to make Boston better! You can come jump in on a project, or bring a social impact project of your own.

Network with local people who share an interest in a better Boston, Cambridge, and beyond. Imagine together, share opportunities to get involved, and trade skills.

Work on existing local project ideas or come to work on your own (white boards provided, laptops are not).

Host your event or meeting in one of our meeting spaces (fit 4-6 comfortably), as long as you’re open to others joining you!

What kind of projects are we talking about?
For February’s OPN, we have the following projects:

Emerson Prison Initiative (EPI); EPI will host a discussion on fundraising strategies. The Emerson Prison Initiative provides high-quality college courses to people incarcerated in Massachusetts. EPI’s mission is to democratize access to tertiary education for those who have been historically marginalized or otherwise unable to attend college.

RE2020: What will the real estate industry look like in year 2020?
